WorldUpstart Expands Global Footprint to Bring Healthcare Innovation to the U.S. Market

PHILADELPHIA - Rezul -- WorldUpstart proudly announces the launch of its Fall 2025 U.S. Market Gateway Accelerator, featuring a dynamic cohort of international Life Science and MedTech companies. The 8-week hybrid program begins online this week, supporting healthcare startups as they target expansion to the United States.

This fall's cohort marks a new milestone for the program, featuring companies from Ecuador, Brazil, and New Zealand for the first time—alongside new participants from familiar innovation hubs like France and South Korea. The program, covering topics like legal, regulatory, reimbursement, operations, and investment, culminates in an immersive four-day U.S. market experience in Philadelphia from October 27–30, featuring an industry showcase, investor pitch sessions, and participation in the region's largest investment conference, PACT Capital Conference.

This cycle also celebrates the launch of new strategic collaborations with BSRKorea and Innopolis Foundation, two leading innovation ecosystem partners in South Korea. These partnerships further strengthen WorldUpstart's global sourcing capabilities and deepen its commitment to supporting Korean companies as they scale into the U.S. healthcare market.

"With each cohort, we continue to expand the diversity, global reach, and impact of our accelerator," said Karina Sotnik, Founder and CEO of WorldUpstart. "We're especially excited this cycle to welcome our first companies from South America and Oceania, and to deepen our collaboration with Korean innovation leaders to ensure that the most promising companies from around the world get the guidance and connections they need to succeed in the U.S."
